Girls’ trips are a great way of reconnecting with friends, and the fantastic thing is that they don’t have to be reserved for celebrations only.

These trips are an excellent way for friends to de-stress and recharge their energy levels. They are also a sure way to boost oxytocin levels.

Having a girls’ trip is also a surefire way to create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

Unfortunately, like with all things, not all girls’ trips go as planned. Some friends may even fall out after going on a trip. 

We found a story on the AITA community on Reddit that paints a similar story.

OP shared that she and her longtime friend had planned a trip to Spain with her friend’s friend.  

A day before the trip, OP’s friend surprised her with the information that she and her friend had booked tickets to a museum for 2 pm, and OP should do the same. However, when OP tried to, the only time available was 8:35 am. 

As if that wasn’t enough, OP’s friend informed her that she had invited a male friend and didn’t book OP’s hotel room. When OP tried to book her room, she found that all the rooms in the hotel were booked, so she had to look for a different hotel.

Yet, all these didn’t deter OP until she was well on her way to the airport and realized going on the trip would be a huge mistake, so she returned home. 

However, this upset her friend, leading her to ask the AITA question. Check out the full story below!

The story in detail...

OP explained that she, her childhood friend and another girl had planned a girls weekend trip to Spain

However, the other girls made plans and fixed a guy into OP's position without informing her. This consequently left her stranded while trying to book a new hotel room for herself online

In the end, OP listened to her gut feeling and decided to cancel since it was no longer the "girls trip" that they initially planned

The post went viral, garnering over 8k upvotes and more than 700 comments. Let's check out what the Reddit community had to say:

"I totally agree - that's not a weekend you want to be a part of, they've made it abundantly clear they don't care about you."

"NTA...Your friend is a shitty friend."

"NTA. You were just going to be a third wheel to your friend and her friend"

"NTA. It really doesn’t sound like she wanted you to come"

"She basically cut you out of the trip in a passive-aggressive manner and you made the right decision to listen to your gut."

"That is so fucked up and you deserve better and you should be proud of sticking up for youself."

"You were an afterthought in everything she and/or her other friend planned."

"Sounds like her friend was prepared, and your mutual friend couldn't be bothered updating you on time sensitive matters"

"NTA...The loss of a friend like this is not a loss."

"It's better to take care of yourself and your mental well-being instead of forcing yourself into an uncomfortable situation."

"If they just invited a dude and he had to find a different hotel, that’d be different, but it’s that they sold your spot to someone else."

"I would really reconsider your friendship - because it seems one-sided."

The commenters believe OP has no business taking on the AH title. According to them, that title belongs solely to her friend, whose actions towards OP were terrible.

No one likes to hear last minute changes to a well thought out plan. And it seems the other girls prioritized having the guy around over OP.

Do you think OP should have gone on the trip regardless of her friend’s behavior? Let us know in the comments below!
